Bunker Hill offers calm countryside and growing housing options

Bunker Hill is a quiet West Virginia community set among the mountaintops and creek beds of the Eastern Panhandle. Col. Morgan Morgan, the state’s first permanent European settler, built his cabin in the countryside three centuries ago, a homestead that modern residents have rebuilt and preserved. And while Bunker Hill is still a place where residents enjoy the space and privacy of a rural lifestyle, it’s also a landing pad for the suburban building boom spreading up Interstate 81 from northern Virginia and into Berkeley County. “We’re kind of a string of smaller towns that are growing because of the major interstate rolling through,” says Joe Sturm, a Real Property Solutions broker specializing in the Eastern Panhandle.

A mix of single-family homes on acreages or in subdivisions

Bunker Hill’s back roads are lined by single-family homes of many styles, set on an acre or 2 across from active farms or hilly forests. Ranch-style homes have been common in the area since the 1950s, selling for around $130,000 to $450,000 depending on age and property size. Manufactured homes sell for about $90,000 to $240,000. Townhouses built in subdivisions over the past 20 years go for roughly $230,000 to $310,000. “We’re seeing a lot of growth from big national builders like Ryan Homes. The demand must be good, because they keep developing more of them,” Sturm says. New Traditional homes in Colonial Revival and Craftsman styles are popular in cul-de-sac communities built from the 1990s through the 2020s, costing around $300,000 to $700,000.
